Note from the Songwriter:
How do you say goodbye to something as dear, as precious, as holy, as Shabbat? Havdalah, meaning “separation”, attempts to make parting a little sweeter by ritualizing our transition from the holy back into the every-day, bringing some of that holiness along into the week. The Kiddush cup, spices, and Havdalah candle are each rich with meaning. Combined with a powerful prayer, they engage each of our senses, helping us be present in a powerful liminal space.
Lyrics:
Saying Goodbye to Shabbos
We’re Saying goodbye to our friend Shabbos
Saying goodbye to Shabbos
we’ll see you again soon
Shavua tov, Shavua Tov
Here is the wine for Shabbos
Here is the wine that’s fine like Shabbos
Here is the wine for Shabbos
We’ll see you again soon
Shavua tov, Shavua Tov
Here is the spice for Shabbos
Here is the spice that’s sweet like Shabbos
Here is the spice for Shabbos
We’ll see you again soon
Shavua tov, Shavua Tov
Here is the light for Shabbos
Here is the light that’s bright like Shabbos
Here is the light for Shabbos
We’ll see you again soon
Shavua tov, Shavua Tov
Saying Goodbye to Shabbos
We’re Saying goodbye to our friend Shabbos
Saying goodbye to Shabbos
We’ll see you again soon
Shavua tov, Shavua Tov
